2:00–2:30pm
Turning 5G from failure to success: insights for operators and vendors
  • To date, 5G has failed on key metrics such as first-stage ROI, revenue or ARPU uplift relative to spend. Why?
  • New enterprise services will help to improve the case but where will the main demand materialise?
  • Which network capabilities will be needed to address that demand in a way that is profitable and differentiated for operators?
  • What will it cost to optimise the networks for enterprise, and how will the operators’ ecosystem change?
  • Are we using the right metrics to define success, or should we redefine them for 6G?

Caroline Gabriel, Research Director

2:30–3:00pm
The programmable 6G network: the building blocks are here!
  • Defining the programmable 6G network and its disaggregation from densified physical infrastructure
  • Programmable 6G network building blocks: cloud-native network functions and automation
  • Drivers for the programmable 6G network: use cases and total cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Timescales for the programmable 6G network: industry progress towards mastering cloud-native networking
  • What can the telecom industry do to accelerate operator adoption of the programmable 6G network?

Caroline Chappell, Partner

3:00–3:30pm
GenAI: scenarios for the telecom industry
  • What is generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and how can it be used?
